Scheduling a job to run only on week days

[markmccoid]

I need to schedule a job to run only on the week days. I don't have a publisher license and was hoping there was some way to do it via QVS and not have to resort to a batch file and windows scheduler.

I've been through all the options in QVS's reload panel and can't figure out any way to do this.

Has anyone else cracked this nut?

Thanks for any info!

Since it doesn't look like there is native functionality to do this I came up this work around in case anyone else needs to do something like this.

I created a QVW file called Preloader.QVW which is going to be the scheduled to load every day at 4AM.

The script for this file is:

IF Match(WeekDay(today()), 'Mon', 'Tue', 'Wed', 'Thu', 'Fri') > 0 THEN
 Exit Script;
ELSE
 LOAD
 X
 Resident IDontExist;
END IF

My file that I only want to run M-F will be set to load only when the Preloader.QVW file finishes successfully. The file I want to run on Sat, Sun will be set to load only when the Preloader.QVW file fails.

Hope this helps.
